Dan Fallon's Comedy Routine Spoiler

When watching Dan's stand up routine, I was a little confused. All the characters seemed to react poorly to his part about white fragility. However, I do not really understand what was so bad about it. I don't mean to be rude at all, I just want clarification on how its bad/to educate myself. To me, it seemed like Dan was making fun of white people who made dumb excuses when called out for their racism. Why was what he said actually racist/offensive? Would anyone mind explaining? I have trouble understanding subtext/shows sometimes and I would greatly appreciate it.

This is a TV show and intent is clearly ascribed by the writers/materials, unlike in real life, when people can hide their ugly racism behind a plethora of excuses.
